The Adventures of Stevie V

The Adventures of Stevie V was a British dance music act from Bedfordshire England, who in the late 1980s & early 1990s scored several hits on the UK Singles Chart, and the US Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.

Assembled by producer Stevie Vincent, the group also included singers Melody Washington and Mick Walsh. Their most successful single was "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)", a #1 dance chart hit that crossed over to pop radio and hit #2 on the UK Singles Chart, as well as peaking at #25 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990. Follow-up single "Jealousy," hit #2 on the US dance chart in early 1991, and climbed to #95 on the Hot 100. The remaining singles failed to hit the dance chart. Vincent released a second album under the moniker in 1993 entitled Satisfy Me, which featured a host of different singers, including soul divas Thelma Houston, Gwen Guthrie, Ruby Turner and Beverlei Brown. The singles "Push 2 The Limit" and "Paradise" were not hits. Vincent currently teaches music tech at Bedford College.

After the demise of The Adventures of Stevie V, Mick Walsh - co-writer of "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" - went on to have a US dance #1 with "Set Me Free" performed by Clubland. He now lives in New York working with artists such as Freddie Bourne. A remix of "Dirty Cash (Money Talks)" was released in late 2009, mixed by Funk K called "Dirty Cash 2009". "Dirty Cash" was covered by Liberty X, and featured on their 2005 album, X.
